This right there is the craziest part of the story. Had he just sobered up and kept his mouth shut or downplayed the event if it ever came up, nothing else would have happened.
Instead he goes on national tv, changes his story several times and looks like a total jackass. Then he loses all of his sponsors.
I'd love to see what his iq score is.
Lochte spoke to his mom that morning BEFORE going to bed, just like an hour or two after the incident. So he's still drunk. He's probably pissed and says "we got robbed by Brazilian police".
She tells media. The story was initially reported as, "Gold medallist Ryan Lochte has been held up at gunpoint at a party in Brazil. "
NOT TRUE.
Lochte's mom said he had been to a party w swimmer and robbed. (They don't have to occur at same time).
At this point, the news goes everywhere and I think Lochte is sleeping.
Lochte could have diffused the whole situation when he woke up but at some point he ran into Billy Bush on the beach and made it way worse. Anyone know when that happened?
